Buhari is busy cleaning PDP' s mess

The Presidency, in reaction to the PDP’s
criticism of Nigerian President,
Muhammadu Buhari’s first 30 days in
office, says the administration has been
kept busy cleaning PDP’s “Augean
Stable”.
The opposition, Peoples Democratic
Party, on Sunday through its National
Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh,
referred to President Buhari’s first 30
days in office as “ 30 days of motion
without movement “, asking Nigerians to
pray for the administration.
In a swift reaction, the Special Adviser
to the President on Media and Publicity,
Mr Femi Adesina, said that it was
amusing to read what the National
Publicity Secretary of the defeated
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa
Metuh, considers a 30 days appraisal of
the President Muhammadu Buhari
administration.
According to Mr Adesina, “He (Metuh)
wants Nigerians to join hands in
prayers for the government, so that
things would begin to move (but) what
he does not know is that Nigerians had
long formed such coalition.
“They are hands in hands, and that was
what gave victory to President Buhari in
the March 28, 2015 poll. They had
teamed up to uproot an administration
that had brought the country to her
knees, and was about to tip her off the
precipice. And Nigerians have resolved
that never would they allow any
government to divide them along
regional, religious and ethnic fault lines
again.”
He stated that the Buhari
administration is naturally
contemplative because there was no
reason to the way PDP ran the country,
particularly in the immediate past
dispensation and that is why the
“Augean Stable is being cleaned”.
Explaining that the Buhari
administration has only been scrupulous
and painstaking in its approach, he said,
“Across all sectors, our national life
was devalued, and it takes
meticulousness and sure-footedness to
repair all the breaches.”
While maintaining that the Buhari
administration would deliver on its
promises, Mr Adesina added that after
all that is being planned by the current
administration has matured, and bearing
fruits, Nigerians would be able to
determine who is serving them
acceptably, and who has taken them for
a ride.
The Presidency also says siphoning
money from the treasury “was the
pastime of the immediate past
administration, and the enormity of the
sleaze will be evident when stolen
money, to the tune of billions of dollars,
is recovered, and returned to the
national treasury soon”.
